The reason? D-listed shared a caricature of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie that included fun things like Valtrex, Louis Vuitton luggage, a skeleton, and wonky eye (you can guess which items went with which girl). Apparently, Paris can’t take a joke and sent her lawyer after both D-listed and the illustration’s artist demanding it be removed.

Of course, one would assume that Paris’ lawyer is about on the same page as Paris, meaning that things like parody don’t enter into their understanding of the American legal system. Nor, apparently, does she remember from day to day that anything like that gets picked up by every media outlet imaginable, meaning that the audience for the item you DIDN’T want people to see gets seen by a whole lot more people. Also, maybe her lawyer should pay attention to the press that his client gets, because saying that an illustration has “inferences [that]…are false and defamatory” doesn’t really make sense when millions of people have seen your client’s Valtrex script in her own name with their very own eyes.
I’ll let you go visit Gallery of the Absurd to see the original, but be sure to go congratulate D-listed. Today’s picture is a bowl of Jell-O, in honor of the collective brainpower behind the cease-and-desist letter sent to D-listed and GotA.
